F38 Trackball Halo
The F38 Series trackball is a high specification human interface device designed to operate in extremely demanding environments where reliability and robustness are essential.
The unique aluminium construction provides excellent impact strength, electrical shielding, and environmental protection, making the trackball an all-round robust solution for the most demanding of military, marine and aerospace applications.
High-grade stainless steel shafts and bearings ensure a solid and precise pointer control.
The trackball incorporates an illuminated ring around the ball to enable the user to locate the trackball in low light environments. The HALO feature can also be used to compliment other backlit features incorporated within a user interface panel and is available in a wide range of colours
The trackball also includes the Cursor Controls Ltd, patent protected, anti-vibration technology which ensures that only intended ball movements are transmitted to the host system (i.e. when the user’s hand is in contact with the surface of the ball). This feature eliminates any unwanted cursor motion resulting from ball movement caused by external shocks or vibrations.
The F38 Series trackball can also be configured with various top plate styles providing options on ball tracking force and illumination for use in low light environments.
The trackball has been designed to be back of panel mounted as part of a rugged keyboard/console or alternatively can be supplied as part of a custom panel solution with integrated switches (please consult your local sales office for details on customised solutions).
